Returning after three years of reincarnation in the world of martial arts

Chapter 237
Seven Princess Mansion.

In the gazebo by the small lake in the back garden, Li Zhongwu came to the back garden for a stroll, but at this time his gaze was fixed on the seemingly calm lake outside the pavilion.

On the surface of the lake, layers of lotus leaves sway in the wind.

But his eyes were not on these lotus leaves, but on the depths of the lake.

Strolling here by accident, he felt that the water in this lake was not normal. The whole lake seemed to be alive, rising slightly and falling slowly from time to time.

It felt as if the lake was quietly breathing.

He stared at the lake for a while, and made sure that the lake was indeed rising and falling slowly. He frowned and thought about it, then closed his eyes and listened.

As he closed his eyes and listened intently, his sense of hearing was continuously amplified.

After a while, he heard a faint sound coming from the depths of the lake in front of him. The rhythm of the sound was very slow, but it continued to come again and again.

Like the beating of drums from far away in the sky.

What's hiding under this lake?
He opened his eyes in doubt, and when he was hesitating whether to go into the water to investigate, his cell phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone, and the caller ID was Yuan Miaoyu.

"Is something wrong?"

Answering the phone, he asked casually.

Yuan Miaoyu: "Where are you?"

Li Zhongwu looked at the lake in front of him, "It should be the back garden of your mansion!"

Yuan Miaoyu: "People just came to the palace. Uncle Rui Wang invited us into the palace, saying that we are discussing about my father's funeral. Would you accompany me into the palace?"

Li Zhongwu pondered slightly, and asked: "Didn't you say that King Rui turned black and white, took down the commander of the imperial army, and even shot at the two senior priests? At this time, you dare to enter the palace easily? Are you afraid that he will take the opportunity to attack you?"

Yuan Miaoyu was silent for a few seconds, then sighed: "However, my father just died, and I, as the princess of Zhen Guo, invited me into the palace to discuss matters related to my father's funeral. Can I refuse?"

Li Zhongwu: "What if he took the opportunity to attack you?"

Yuan Miaoyu: "Didn't you say you would protect me today?"

Li Zhongwu smiled lightly, "Do you want him to attack you? Then I have to fight him?"

Yuan Miaoyu: "..."

After a few more seconds of silence, Yuan Miaoyu spoke calmly, "If I had a choice, I would not choose to enter the palace at this time, because I am not sure if you are the opponent of King Rui, if you are not his opponent, I will be very dangerous.

But I have no choice. All the princes and princesses should set an example for the whole country in terms of filial piety. My father died, and King Rui invited me into the palace to discuss the funeral. I have no reason to refuse. "

Li Zhongwu was dumbfounded.

I kind of understand her decision.

Because he thought about it differently, if his own father passed away, he would go home to attend the funeral no matter what after receiving the news.

What's more, she has ambitions to ascend to the throne, so it is even more impossible for her to be criticized in terms of filial piety.

"When will you enter the palace?"

he asks.

Yuan Miaoyu: "Right away!"

Li Zhongwu: "I'll come right over and wait for you at the gate."

Yuan Miaoyu: "Good!"

……

At the end of the call, Li Zhongwu looked a little helpless.

He didn't want to be involved in the vortex of fighting for imperial power, and he didn't want to fight against the King Rui who had never met before, but the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind didn't stop, and that King Rui called him and Yuan Miaoyu into the palace at this time.

Isn't it good for everyone not to violate the river water?
Are there too many happy days?Bloody skin swollen?
……

A black commercial vehicle, escorted by several black cars, drove out of the Palace of the Seventh Princess and headed towards the palace at a leisurely pace.

In a black commercial vehicle.

Sitting beside Yuan Miaoyu, Li Zhongwu smelled the faint fragrance from her body, and thought of the abnormality of the lake in the back garden of the Princess Mansion, he asked casually, "Is there something hidden in the bottom of the small lake in the back garden?"

Yuan Miaoyu, who was frowning and thinking about things, looked at Li Zhongwu in surprise.

"what have you found?"

She asked.

Li Zhongwu: "I heard a sound under the lake, and I noticed that the lake seemed to be breathing, rising and falling for a while. Although the rise and fall were very small, I was sure I saw it right."

Yuan Miaoyu: "..."

After looking at him quietly for a while, Yuan Miaoyu replied softly: "There is a mutated old tortoise at the bottom of the lake. Because of its size, the sound of breathing and heartbeat is a bit obvious, but it is usually very docile. As long as you don't mess with it, it won't be disturbed." Will attack you, it usually doesn't even come to the surface."

"Mutated old tortoise? A little big? How big?"

Li Zhongwu was aroused curiosity.

Yuan Miaoyu smiled, "Yes! Affected by the nuclear radiation that year, some animals in this world have mutated to varying degrees, some have grown thick scales or hair; some have become very large, and some The size has become very small; some of them, like some supernatural beings, have awakened special abilities. You have been living in the primeval forest before, haven't you met mutated beasts?"

Li Zhongwu frowned, "That's it! It may be that the ancestors of our village have cleared all the mutated beasts near the village! It may also be that the ancestors deliberately chose a place without mutated beasts to open up the village, anyway. I have never seen any mutated beasts since I was a child."

After a pause, Li Zhongwu asked: "How big is that old tortoise you mentioned? It can't be stewed in one pot, right?"

Can't cook in one pot?

Yuan Miaoyu was taken aback, because every time she threatened the turtle, she always said, "I'll make soup with you tonight!".

Unexpectedly, when he heard that there was an old turtle in the lake, the first thing he thought of was "stew".

"It really can't be stewed in one pot! So don't even think about stewing it, it's pretty good!"

she said so.

She still didn't say how big the turtle was.

Because the tortoise is too big, it has exceeded the limit of ordinary mutant beasts, she doesn't want to reveal this secret yet.

Li Zhongwu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Because he looked at Yuan Miaoyu's youthful and graceful figure beside him, his heart was full of thoughts. After all, they had a real bridal chamber, and it was also the first time for him to taste the taste of a woman. In other words, their bridal chamber was already a week ago.

I haven't seen her these days, that's all.

Now sitting alone with her all of a sudden, he is full of vigor, and he has no idea, which is unrealistic.

So, he stretched out his hand, took her left hand on her thigh, and held it like that.

Yuan Miaoyu instinctively twitched her left hand slightly, looked over with surprised eyes, as if asking: What are you doing?
"Sorry!"

Li Zhongwu casually gave a reason.

After all, her father had just passed away, so this reason should be appropriate.

Yuan Miaoyu was stunned, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, her eyes darkened slightly, and there was a touch of sadness in her heart.

She thought that she would not be sad when her father died.

Because she has long understood that the royal family has no family ties, only power and interests.

but……

The word "sorrow" that Li Zhongwu said casually made her feel a little uncomfortable. She remembered how she felt when her mother and concubine passed away.

She knew that in this world, the concubine mother loved her the most.

And the emperor...

Although she has many children and is very busy every day, it is rare for her to see him on weekdays, but at this moment she can't help but see the scenes of her getting along with her father in the past.

Thinking about it now, compared to other brothers and sisters, she has already spent a lot of time with her father.

Although this is the favor she received after consciously showing her intelligence since she was a child, no matter how these favors came from, the fact is that she has received more fatherly love than many brothers and sisters.

Today, her father also passed away.

"Thank you!"

She thanked Li Zhongwu softly.

Seeing her sad expression, Li Zhongwu couldn't help but reduce most of the charming thoughts in his heart.

For the first time, he discovered that apart from her ambition, she also had family affection, something he had never felt in her before.

He breathed a sigh of relief, let go of her hand, reached out to wrap her body in his arms, and hugged her shoulders.

Although Yuan Miaoyu's body became a little stiff, she did not break free from his embrace, she hesitated, and slowly leaned her face against his embrace.

At this moment, they are a bit like a real couple.

"If only you were an ordinary girl!"

Li Zhongwu sighed softly.

"Where is it?"

Yuan Miaoyu lowered her eyelids and asked softly.

Li Zhongwu: "There are many benefits! If you were an ordinary girl, you would not have so many troubles, and there would be no danger. After we get married, we can have more of a two-person world, and then slowly experience 1+1 Equals 3, even 1+1 equals 4 happiness.”

Yuan Miaoyu raised her drooping eyelids and looked up at his face in doubt, "How can 1+1 equal 3 or 4? Which country's arithmetic did you learn? Did the teacher in your village teach it like this?"

A smile appeared in Li Zhongwu's eyes, and he touched her shoulder with his thumb, and said softly: "A man and a woman give birth to a child, or two children, isn't it just that 1+1 equals 1 or 3?" gone?"

Yuan Miaoyu: "???"

At this moment, there seemed to be a string of question marks in her eyes.

When he said this, she suddenly felt that 1+1 could be equal to many numbers, and a ridiculous idea even popped up in her mind—is this the true meaning of the Taoist saying that one life two, two beget three, and three beget all things?Is this Taoist theory actually talking about women giving birth?

While she was thinking wildly, their cars had already slowly driven into the palace and arrived at the square in front of the Wuji Hall.

The moment the car stopped, she came back to her senses, her originally scattered eyes froze for an instant, and the aura of her eyes and her whole body changed instantly.

She subconsciously broke away from Li Zhongwu's arms, lowered her head and adjusted her clothes, and said in a low voice: "You will play by ear in a moment. If there is danger, you just have to give it a go. The first principle is to save your life and mine. Under this principle , you don't have to hold back, no matter how serious the consequences are in the end, I will deal with them afterwards, so don't worry!"

Hearing this, Li Zhongwu narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and nodded slightly.

Although the relationship between him and Yuan Miaoyu is not harmonious yet, she is his de facto wife after all, so he will protect her safety no matter what.

Since she is not afraid of serious consequences, he naturally has no worries.
